She definitely respected it

“How was your first day?”

“Oh, it was great, thanks!” I replied.

It was fucking wank, Charlotte.

“Simon, Dane, and I are about to head out.”

“I’ll tag along,” I smiled as I grabbed my purse.

It was my first day at my new job. I had graduated from college the month prior and had only worked in the service industry up until that point.

If you can call hiding from customers, roasting the kitchen staff, and convincing the high as a kite manager to buy an expensive vase work.

My new colleagues chatted about their day, Excel’s latest fuckery, and Rebecca the recycling box thief who stalked the halls too much.

Probably thieving.

I walked along with them engrossed in my own thoughts, congratulating myself on getting through my first day without any fuckups or embarrassing moments.

It was a miracle.

“So, do you think you’ll be back tomorrow?” Simon chuckled.

Not if you interrupt me while I’m talking to myself in my head.
